Pretty UI for OpenMoko

[Crane, Matthew]

Hi, 

You're saying to add transition effects to a window, which probably
would not take up a whole QVGA display, at a reasonable rate of
15/frames second for a phone, will require 70mb/s of memory bandwidth?
How did you calculate that?

Matt

There is no blitter on the neo1973, so moving or transforming
full-screen
windows is quite expensive in software.
For example, 72 megabytes/second or so memory bandwidth can be needed
for
a full-screen move, which will be very close to what the hardware can
do.
Of course, maxing out the CPU for periods won't help battery life
enormously.
